My name is Alessandra, and I was born in Marilia, a small town in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Crochet has been my passion for most of my life: I learned to crochet from my grandma Dirce, my dad's mom. She taught me how to crochet using silk thread and a very small crochet hook; my first project was a clothes hanger cozy. Let me tell you, silk is tricky! But I didn't give up crocheting with that slippery thread and tiny hook, and have never stopped crocheting since, I have been doing it for over 20 years, some times more often than others, but have never stopped. I left Brazil when I got married and moved to US. After I had my son Lucas, and became a stay at home mom and wife, I started crocheting more and selling my work online. Having being used to working and making my own money, it was the perfect solution: crocheting was a great way of making a little spending money of my own and I was thrilled to be able to do something from home and raise my son at the same time.

I was disappointed this hat didn't offer different sizes. My newborn baby's head was too big for this hat when finished. It would be nice if there was some direction on how to expand the size of the pattern to fit different baby's heads instead of just one size.

This is a really cute hat and the instructions were fairly easy, though I never really understood "working in the third hdc". I worked in what I consider to be the back loop and the hat looks and measures right. My main complaint is there are no instructions for the flower. This is what makes this hat stand out and I finally googled fabric flowers and made my own version. Instructions should be included for the flower.
